  I deleted my old web address blog (atypicalveganuk.wordpress.com) as I wanted to create a new blog with a new name and web address. I created a new one, also changing my username (minkymay.wordpress.com). However, my new web address also says deleted?? When I try to create it, it says it already exists and when I go to the web address in a new tab, it says it has been deleted. But I have only just created the new one, so I don’t know what’s happened?
